@BCspiderman7 Looks like a Phidippus audax, the bold jumper.

Just discovered this thread, congrats on all the slings! I might be interested in two or three..

I'm relatively new to this hobby, but that does look very much like a E. sp. red to me. That bald rump is very interesting, I've never heard of this particular species ever flicking hairs.

Looks like some kind of Avic sling to me, and it makes sense he would give it to you since they are relatively common spiders in the hobby. Did your friend mention any common names?

At what size will I need to rehouse my sings if they are living in a 16 oz deli cup? Also, would these cups work fine for 1 in slings? Thanks.

Excellent thread, but I just want to confirm something real quick. Which size of Amac box do you use, the 2" by 4" model, or the 3" by 6" model? Thanks!

I'll try to pick up a couple when she has that next brood, thanks!

No problem, I wish I had this species where I live.

Are you selling some of the babies by any chance?

The green jumper appears to be a Paraphidippus aurantius. Great shot!

I'm gonna be honest, I do not currently own a B. hamorii, but I do own a B. albopilosum as well as an A. chalcodes, both of which have similar care. Why do you need a picture of a cage? Are you looking for inspiration or what? If so, you don't want to see my enclosures, they are nothing fancy. I...

Not sure what you mean, all a B. smithi (now B. hamorii btw) needs is several inches of dry substrate (preferably something like coco fiber or topsoil), a water dish, and a hide. A hide can be something as simple as a piece of pvc pipe halfway submerged into the substrate, but most people use...

I would just give it some time and make sure the substrate is high enough to prevent damage in the case of a fall.

Did you just get this specimen? Sometimes when T's are acclimating they climb up the walls of their enclosure, my N. tripepii did that for about a week and a half.

Glad to hear that your A. metallica is active, it's one of the arboreals I'm planning on getting.

Thanks for the link! I was actually planning on getting an E. sp red after I get the arboreals I've been wanting, glad to hear that! Oh, I never thought of that, thanks for the suggestion.

So most tarantulas tend to be similar in activity levels? I guess I'll just buy a red light, should be cheaper than another T anyways lol.

What do you guys think some of the most active species of tarantulas are? I'm asking because I currently have an A. chalcodes, B. albopilosum, and N. tripepii, which are all very sedentary, and I'd love to own a species I could actively watch. I understand that most species tend to not be very...

I'll try to get some pictures later today.

Well, I guess I'll keep looking online, thanks everyone for the help!
